i've not been writing anything of late. guess all the juices have been sucked out by my mundane life. my room's not even packed properly. badm's taking up way too much time. contemplation sets in.
jamming finally. with a fun bunch of people. was pretty amused the way they communicated with each other. when was the last time i jammed. a week ago or something. only hindrance was i didnt know their songs. so basically i was feeling my way in the dark. oh wells it was fun.
more visiting visiting visiting. the word visiting looks weird if you look at it long enough.
random is good. dont give crap if they dont bother.
six feet on the edge and i'm thinking maybe six feet aint so far down.

chinese new year has been an escape for me. away from all intended intentions. at least i'm doing something familiar. and the yield is surprisingly higher than last year's.
change is absolutely inevitable. but this is way too much.
music of one genre may be poison to another. point to note in straightjacket. its the masses we want. now thats purposeful.
just like the white-winged dove sings a song sounds like she's singin ooh baby ooh said ooh.

some aspirations are not meant to be achieved. when basics are defective. just do it for the sole purpose of thrill. come on people. do it cuz you're passionate. not just cuz everyone else is doing it.
new phone finally. but its annoying me. i cant get the front cover off. dang this thing.
someone please just hire me as a band co-ordinator.

ahhh yes. half of this entry is dedicated to john smith. no i dont write poems. i write lyrics which most of the time dont rhyme. the word poem is kinda odd. makes you feel all fuzzy and warm i think. but apparently the stuff i write. mainly for people who can think deeper. unlike some people whom i shall not name. some specific sponges.
oh and just so you know. i read your blog and. you're not the only one going through that. i'm totally in this with you. cuz whatever you wrote in your blog. i could relate more or less. chess people are deep and think a lot. so we could probably work something out :D hang in there buddy.
service was definitely an improvement today. we could use a little more factors of production though. but still. lets please go back to where the gunshot's heard.
i've got a way to work this out i've got a way and you know how stop turn take a look around at all the lights and sounds.

in the midst of completing a supposed poem. for some healthy lifestyle week thing. in my opinion i dont think its a poem. its more like a sadistic emo song. oh wells i better make some amendments. so now it sounds really gay.

everything kinda doesnt seem right now. with all this adapting. i barely have time to just sit and stone. badm takes up a lot of time too. as if studying in aj wasnt bad enough.
ignyte is also undergoing a transition stage. and frankly speaking. i really dont like the new structure. there's no more fellowship. more specifically there's no more TIME allocated for fellowship. and zone 2 doesnt exactly consist of fantastically enthusiastic people. the unity and zeal in zone 1 is definitely absent in zone 2. people i know are falling back and thats serious. somebody has gotta do something about it.
i'm missing people badly. i miss what we all had. hey you. if you're reading this. i probably miss you too.
listen here's the pleasant part you and i we fell apart.

went to ps today after school. jael had her lessons while i mugged at the foodcourt. scouted for the guitar haven i've been looking for. and guess what. i found three guitar shops. one of which the owner knows pastor dowdy. he owns such a high-class shop and the guitars cost at least above $2600. he showed us some really slick stuff and taught us a lot about guitars. basically he plays latin, flamenco and blues. stayed in his shop for like close to an hour half. touched most of the electrics which cost AT LEAST $5200. funky hand-crafted hawaiin wood acoustics from custom shop. the best you could ever get.
oh hbo's the best channel ever. when i got home. THE CORE was on air. its awesome man. that show was what inspired me to take up geog and physics in secondary school. you should go catch it. after the core was my other favourite movie NORMAL. bet no one has ever heard of my array of favourite movies.

at long last we get to take down notes during lecture. fun fun. oh guess what ! i got into worship min ! praise the Lord :D i can finally get to serve. got the call just after badm trg. think i scared some of my badm people with my over-enthusiasm.
i feel so old man. i'm in J1. gonna die soon.
a random fascinating fact. while i was shampoo-ing just now. i squished my bottle too hard. and little bubbles squirted out. started floating sideways then downwards. they looked funny so i started laughing at them.

finished trg at 8pm. got home at 9pm. thats even later than orientation. surprised how i survived the day. when i only had a 2hour power nap. thanks to some POKEMON FAN. guess i'm gonna end school this late every mon wed and fri.
i'm seriously rapidly losing my passion for badm. its becoming more like a responsiblility. and it takes up so much of my time. what if i really cant cope. moreover i dont know when my knee will give way. besides my passion lies in what i pursue now.

back to my civilisation. missed the regular people man. realised i havent touched my guitar for this whole week. the nails on my left hand are long. plus my amp's screwed. no electric for me in a while.
oh and my OGL shui yong is so funky ! found a fellow guitarist in AJ :D and other guitar converts. at least they're people i could possibly jam with.

ok maybe i'm gettin attached to my OG. quality time i guess. the whole OG went to cine to play pool. took in two more tudi people ! both did me proud :D
after that during campfire. i realised one of my group member plays the guitar ! and he knows so much about guitar stuff. he could even tell the name and brand of an effects box just simply by looking. plus the month it was released for purchase. he introduced so many unknown guit brands too. basically he's my long-awaited info box. but he's a scholar from malaysia. scolded him for not telling me he played the guitar earlier. since today was the last day of orientation. and what could get worse. he got another scholarship somewhere else and is going back to malaysia or something. is this some kind of sabotage ?!
yes i'm a skeptic i dont deny. cheering was awesome during orientation. ignoring the fact that some cheers required me to make weird noises. but all was good.
and the scars remind us that the past is real i tear my heart open just to feel.

are we late and out of time how do we catch up not started, incomplete our foundation of a five. so many accomplished gettin As in rock regular routine trauma enough to set the grade.
where exactly do we stand our passion without chance melodies written but unsung no nickel for a glance. clueless and stuck in a minor of unprogressive chords desperate calls not selling out welcome over to the club.
cocktails of resilience before this war begins we're in the strangest of places unchartered territory can we do this now can we make it now.

ok this is a repeat entry. FOR BEL. scroll down down down for today's actual entry.
i love my juniors ! they're the sweetest little things man. the whole powerpuff seniors skit thing was simply pure creativity. two thumbs up kids. i was so touched ! it suddenly dawned on me that i would be leaving SNBT. joining a new team next year. i'll always remember the warmth of the SNBT family literally. that fuzzy wuzzy feeling when everybody loves everybody. no fights no bites just plain unity. i'll miss the days when we stoned together after training. when we bitched about everything under the sun. when we pressed on during the physical together. how we encouraged each other on court cheering our guts out. parting is really such sweet sorrow.
the two people i'll miss most when i leave are my dotters. dotter: thanks for always being my source of strength. the times when we shared so much of our lives with each other. how this inter-dependence was slowly formed. i've always appreciated how you looked up to me for support and encouragement. especially when your knee injury got in the way. i'm glad i was the first one you'd always turn to. the pooling sessions we had at your place were the best. sometimes you'd cheer me up without even knowing it. how i'd always bug you about your irregular training attendance. i'll never forget the ups and downs we've been through together. i really cannot find the words to describe this right now. you were so much a part of my life that now i find it hard to say goodbye. just so you know. you're the coolest bitch ever. i love you dotter.
dotter dotter: my precious little thing. i'll never forget the times when we stood on court together and showed our opponents what real fighting spirit was. how we relied on each other so much for mental support especially on court. plmgss at woodlands and tkgs at tampines. our most memorable matches. i still remember our tkgs matchpoint where i said. trust your ahbu i'm here. and you really entrusted the whole court area to me. oh that was hilarious but we did it. you taught me how to really care for somebody from the bottom of my heart. such a joy you've been throughout my whole SNBT life. carry on my doubles legacy i know you have the potential. remember you're always mommy's little girl. i love you dotter dotter.
to my C division team in 2003: i'll never forget how the ten of us stuck together in the midst of adversity. how you all supported me as a captain. how you all co-operated so it would make my job easier. how we fought shoulder to shoulder on court. your enthusiasm and passion for this team was indeed an inspiration. each and everyone of you made our achievements come to pass. including those who have left ( annabel and shujun ). you're the best team any captain could have asked for.
to all the xiao de: dont let the SNBT tradition die ok ! remember that each and every one of you plays a part in the success of the team. work with jiao lian and sunbye :D trust in them they are the pillars of this team. train hard and stay focused. study hard too or you'll have problems coming your way. and enjoy yourself along the way because you're part of a great team ! joining the st. nicholas badminton team family is one thing i never regretted. keep our SNBT spirit alive for generations to come !
ok this is a super long entry. too emotion-filled. did i say I LOVE ALL MY JUNIORS ! this SNBT camaraderie will never die :)
fighting crime trying to save the world here they come just in time the powerpuff seniors POWERPUFF !

saw AJ's band today. rock band that is. consisted of a guitarist bassist and drummer. couldnt really discern whether they were good or not. apparently they were in the competition "school of rock" and came out as finalists. what does that say ? either they were really good or the other bands who participated just didnt make the cut. aye but who cares. at least i know SUCH people actually exist in this school.
gonna bring sweets tomorrow. brighten up everyone's day :D hopefully we are able to end on time tomorrow. oh please let the week pass faster. i wanna start mugging now. without the trg - highly impossible.
and i doubt i'll be available during the upcoming holidays. intensive trg people. so date me on schooldays or weekends. especially if you want to jam. i'll give you special priority :D i'm so not used to tying my hair up.
it seems like you are locked inside my key dont fit no more and you're walking on the land mines you laid down before.

well what can i say. about my first day of school. i shall comment no further. and everytime i say that phrase. it really shows how bad it is. i just really wanna start the whole studying thing right now and get on with it already.
had a power nap before i went to school. basically i slept for 3hours only. and i'd really like to know which other jc or institution ends their orientation at 6.30pm. not forgetting the fact that i was drowning in all the chinese speaking people. the fluent traditional ones werent the bad thing. it was the half chinese half english ones that swallowed me whole. plus some random people in my og are seriously cheap thrillers.
lucky jael. at least she got to know some emo listener in her school. no one in my school knows who or WHAT taking back sunday is ! though i doubt i'll transfer in the end. i guess i have a purpose for being put in this school. i'll just walk in faith blindfolded.
my only motivation to get through today. was coming back home. and practising my dearest guitar. the lovely Gs and Cs and Em7s. plus brand new techniques from a master. oh that was enough mental strength for a day.
but still. WHERE ARE ALL THE COOL PEOPLE IN MY SCHOOL ? i need to talent scout. all the jammers out there respond please. though i aint really gettin my hopes high.
my hopes are so high that your kiss might kill me so wont you kill me so i'd die happy.

oh man what can i say about today. its the best "last day of the holiday" day ever. we all agreed we should jam together one last time before school reopens. the most successful one this week. we actually did whole songs consecutively.
according to shih we're called THE NOOBISTS. whoever's too pro will be kicked out. no thats just a joke. and jael was just awesome today man. her impromptu bass pounds were just woah. seriously rock on girl.
sen: lead guitarist and vocals shih: drummer dude phil: rhthym guitarist jael: bassist dayy: keyboardist and vocals the word keyboardist looks wrong :/
and all i want in this lifetime is You and all i want in this whole world is You You You.

merry new year to the dania-blog-readers ! though it doesnt seem to me any different a day. its chinese new year i'm looking forward to.
watchnight was interesting. loved the message and the testimonials. and i sorta realised. that festivals like these allow you to shake hands with random people you dont know.
supper with mom and kinnon. discovered i have the assets of a counsellor. should get my mom to pass me some of her books. her office is packed with such stuff.
and some weird thing happened. when i was walking up to my house gate. some random guy stuck his head out of his speeding car and said "eh happy new year!". ok that was just a fun fact.
but if you die right now you know that i'd die too until the day i die i'll spill my heart for you.
